Abstract

This paper proves the branching laws for the full class of unitarizable representations of general linear groups in non-Archimedean local fields, extending the original notion of Gan-Gross-Prasad relevant pair for Arthur-type representations \cite{GGP2, Gur, Cha_crelle}. Further, we provide an explicit computable algorithm to determine the generalized GGP relevant pair, as developed in \cite{Cha_qbl}. In particular, we show that if π\pi and π\pi' are any irreducible smooth representations of GLn+1(F)\mathrm{GL_{n+1}(F)} and GLn(F)\mathrm{GL_{n}(F)} respectively, and their Langlands data or Zelevinsky data are given in terms of multisegments, then through an algorithmic process we can determine whether the space HomGLn(F)(π,π)\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{GL_n(F)}}(\pi, \pi') is non-zero. Finally, when one of the represntations π\pi and π \pi' is a generalized Speh representation, we give a complete classification for the other one for which the Hom space is non-zero.
